Varela: I’m Very Happy To Be At One Of The Best Teams In The World

New signing Guillermo Varela was today unveiled by the club ahead of going to Turkey to represent Uruguay at U-20s World Cup. The full back, who claimed that his pace is his best asset, is delighted to have signed.

“I’m very pleased to be a part of this club, one of the best teams in the world. I’m very happy,” he said. “This is a huge club that has won everything and I hope that continues. I was here about a month ago for roughly a fortnight. It was unbelievable to be here. It was very special for me.”

When he was here on trial it was Javier Hernandez who he spent the most time with and he helped with the language barrier.

“He was a great help because he translated everything that was being said in English into Spanish for me while I was here,” Varela added. “I also got to know most of the squad. I’m lucky because there are quite a few [Spanish speakers]. It will certainly help me settle in and maybe learn lots too.”

Kid is still young. Only 15 min for Penarol seniors. But you can see he is a main man for the national U20 side. Probably destined for the reserves but hopefully can push on for a place. Think it is good to get these youngsters early so they can learn the language. Communication essential for defense.

Good luck to him and glad to see we print what he actually says unlike the two Bitters’ new signings who both quote “the project” in “their” statements – makes me laugh each and every time. Without Citeh my close season is a little less boring !!!

Safichan. Yeah that’s the attitude you knob head. Zaha is surrounded by fucking garbage yet Navas who barely played was surrounded by top players. Nowt like giving Zaha a chance is there. Fuck me he hasn’t even pulled the shirt on and you’re slagging him off. Hate cunts like you.

King Eric – couldn’t agree more – crickey he is a kid who has played all season and then under performed at an U21 tournament (probably due to his injury) where the whole team were shit. Who cares!
Once that red shirt is on )
